re: Best small SUV for the wife, under $30k

The current favorites are the Honda CR-V and the Mazda CX-5
Those are crossovers.
If we start calling the Honda CR-V, Ford Edge, Chevy Equinox, or the new Nissan Pathfinder "SUVs", then I absolutely hate what SUVs have become.
Get a Subaru Outback wagon. Good mileage and better handling and passenger room than the CR-V. The 3.6L models can scoot, and Outbacks have incredible resale value.
If you want a mid sized SUV, your only options are the Toyota 4Runner or Nissan XTerra. I can personally vouch for the excellence of the 4Runner.

I couldn't care less what you call them.

She thinks Subarus are ugly... I wouldn't mind them but since it'll be hers primarily, she gets veto power on aesthetics.

I personally think that you should go with the RAV.... Maybe in a red/orange exterior color :)

Go with a 2014 toyota highlander. We have three in the family and everyone loves it.

Thanks for the input. Just hope nobody steals the spare.

my wife is in her 2nd Honda, fantastic vehicle!

We got a used Highlander for $25k, with 20k miles.
Wife loves it, and i don't mind driving it.
Don't get her an Acura MDX. She just wants it b/c its the fad thing right now.

MDXs are awesome. Doesn't fit the OP's criteria at all though.

Wife and I bought a Mazada CX-5 in December. We are very happy with it. We got the grand touring with all the extras for about 27.5

You can get a pretty nice pre-owned Cadillac SRX at right under 30K.

2012 or 13 Mercedes GLK been mentioned?
Posted on 5/28/15 at 5:19 pm to jrodLSUke
Second-highest safety ranking in the segment, just behind the Volvo XC60.

Wife's '14 Edge is the best car/suv we have bought, got the limited out the door with 0% for 33k. Gets 22 mpg in town, 28 on the road with the 300 hp V6.
We traded in a Denali and it's just as nice.

Rav4 or CRV if you want it to last.
Posted on 5/28/15 at 6:09 pm to The Last Coco
Anything by Subaru
Edit.:
Maybe a minivan? I love the wife's toyota Sienna. Hondas are nice as well. Great gas mileage and can haul a shitload of cargo
